#5 Don't kid yourself. Since time immemorial, kings have *had* to have multiple wives, mostly for political reasons. It's part and parcel of the tribal system. Heck, even most of Brigham Young's wives were to cement intra-religious ties. I suppose getting married beats having a civil war.

I've still got a soft spot for him, ever since he forbade Swazi women to wear pants. But maybe I'm just kinky that way...

Well, I still run into the occasional woman who's figured out the secret of looking good in a pair of slacks, so I think it's just you.

(Especially those khaki slacks that Howard Dean thinks are so immoral and threatening... I'm beginning to wonder what he wants, abayas instead?)
